Politics and gossip...ug.<BR/><BR/>Well, I'll be praying for you but I'll also be praying for your church. Your pastor may need a swift kick from God just about now. I agree with Sarah and Jean-Luc...it may be time to check out a few churches around town. <BR/><BR/>It is hard to see the failings of church members and not be discouraged... thank God for Jesus... none of us are perfect although we should strive for a Christlike perfection. Maybe certain members of your church need to be reminded of that. We are forgiven, yes...but we also need to behave with love. <BR/><BR/>Galations 5:6b <I>The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.</I>M. C.

While you're at it- are there any other local churches you could check out?
